Sloppy Ohs!
A playful take on classic sloppy joes, this dish combines savory ground beef, sweet bell pepper, and a creamy tomato base served over buttery flaky biscuits for a comforting family meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare biscuits as directed on package.
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef, bell pepper, and onion; drain excess fat.
- Add condensed tomato soup, water, and chili powder; stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
- Split biscuits; spoon the beef mixture over each biscuit and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using ground turkey or a plant-based meat substitute instead of ground beef. You can also mix in some diced tomatoes or corn for extra texture. To make the dish spicier, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Be sure to drain the fat from the beef mixture well to prevent soggy biscuits.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Sloppy Ohs! with a side of crispy potato wedges or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. You can also pair them with coleslaw for a crunchy contrast. For a fun twist, try adding cheese on top of the beef mixture before serving. This dish is great for family gatherings and can be easily doubled for larger crowds.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Sloppy Ohs! in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef mixture in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally. If the biscuits have become soft, you can briefly toast them in the oven to revive their texture.
